This paper illustrates a brief review of the development process of the palliative care team at the Seirei Mikatahara General Hospital. Palliative care team has been first instituted in 2002, and currently providing general support for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy not only for terminally ill patients. In future, we would start a regional palliative care program, including community palliative care team, to provide appropriate palliative care for all cancer population.
